Statistics South Africa 19 P0318 6. Disability The questions used on disability were developed by the Washington Group and was first introduced in the 2009 questionnaire. These questions require each person in the household to rate their ability level for a range of activities such as seeing, hearing, walking a kilometre or climbing a flight of steps, remembering and concentrating, self-care, and communicating in his/her most commonly used language, including sign language. During the analysis, individuals who said that they had some difficulty with two or more of the activities or had a lot of difficulty/were unable to perform any one activity, are then ranked as disabled. The analysis was confined to individuals aged 5 years or older as children below the age of five years are often mistakenly categorised as being unable to walk, remember, communicate or care for themselves when it is due to their level of development rather than any innate disabilities they might have. The findings are presented in Table 7. Using this classification system, 5,2% of South Africans aged 5 years and older were classified as disabled. Women (5,4%) were slightly more likely to be disabled than men (5,0%). Northern Cape (10,2%), North West (7,7%) and Free State (6,7%) presented the highest rates of disability in the country. No clear patterns emerge when the findings are compared to the results from 2009 and 2010. While nationally, the percentage of disabled individuals over the age of four years increased from 5,7% in 2009 to 6,3% in 2010, before declining again to 5,2% in 2011; different provincial patterns emerge. The disability question used before 2009 shows similar provincial variations over time. This continued variation makes it very difficult to identify enduring patterns and inter-provincial differences, thus making an analysis of possible reasons impossible.

Social security services The percentage of individuals that benefited from social grants increased from 12,9% in 2002 to 29,6% in 2011. Simultaneously, the percentage of households that received at least one grant increased from 30,1% in 2002 to 45,7% in 2009 before declining slightly to 44,4% in 2011. This is presented in Figure 16.

Statistics South Africa 20 P0318 Figure 16: Percentage of households and persons who have benefited from social grants, 2003- 2011 Figure 17 summarises the provincial distribution of individuals and households that benefited from social grants in 2011. More than two-thirds of individuals in Eastern Cape (38,5%), Limpopo (38,1%) and Northern Cape (37,7%) are grant beneficiaries, compared to 17,2% in Gauteng and 20,2% in Western Cape. Similarly, more than half of households in Limpopo (58,9%), Eastern Cape (56,7%) and Northern Cape (55,7%) received at least one grant compared to 28,5% of households in Gauteng and 37% of households in Western Cape. More than a third of black African individuals (33,5%) received a social grant, compared to 23,3% of coloured individuals, and 12,4% Indian/Asian individuals. Only 6,0% of the white population received grants. Figure 17: Percentage of individuals and households benefiting from social grants per province, 2011 General Household Survey, July 2011
